Chapter 462 Legendary Emperor
Nangong Jingxuan didn't care what Emperor Yuanwu and Gongsun Tianhua thought. After delivering the message, he hurried out of the palace.
He is also busy planning the wedding for his brother-in-law, so time is very tight.
Shangguan Tang saw him coming back and asked hurriedly, "What did the emperor and the prince say?"
Nangong Jingxuan said: "They said they would congratulate Ping An, and the prince cousin would come to attend Ping An's wedding ceremony."
Shangguan Tang nodded: "That's good, let's go and inform other relatives and friends."
The engagement was just made that day, and the next day the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion began to hold the wedding ceremony. The huge wedding procession went to Guo's residence, which once again attracted the admiration of the people in the capital.
"No, the engagement was just made yesterday, so how come we are getting married today?"
"I heard that the Duke and the Old Duke were not in the capital, and that Prince Shangguan took advantage of their absence to hold the wedding. Could it be that the Duke and the Old Duke did not like this marriage?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see that people from Prince Yan's Mansion were also there? Princess Yan went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion yesterday to prepare for the wedding ceremony!"
The people were filled with doubts and had no idea how the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion operated.
Shangguan Ping'an, as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, was a handsome man and was greatly loved by many women in the capital. When they saw that he suddenly got married, those women were heartbroken.
Everyone wanted to know who Shangguan Ping'an was going to marry and where this Guo residence came from.
The wedding procession arrived at the gate of Guo's house. Shangguan Ping'an, dressed in a red wedding gown, got off the tall horse handsomely and took Guo Jiaojiao's hand from the nun.
Guo Jiaojiao had a red veil covering her head. Even though she couldn't see, she could feel how lively it was outside at that moment.
In just one day, Shangguan Ping'an arranged everything, which made her extremely surprised and touched.
Shangguan Ping'an is doing his best to perfect this wedding.
Although the wedding banquet at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was held in a hurry, important figures in the capital still found time to attend the banquet. Crown Prince Gongsun Tianhua also came in person to offer his blessings and gifts. Although the wedding ceremony was held in a hurry, it was very grand and no one came to cause trouble.
By the time the guests left, it was already dusk.
Shangguan Ping'an came to the bridal chamber drunk, and under the guidance of the matchmaker, he used a weighing rod to lift the bride's veil.
Seeing Guo Jiaojiao's pretty and shy face, Shangguan Ping'an gave her a doting smile.
"My lady, you are so beautiful today."
Guo Jiaojiao felt relaxed when he called her "wife". She said coquettishly, "Am I not beautiful on weekdays?"
"Beautiful, you are beautiful at all times, and beauty is in my heart." Shangguan Ping'an's mouth was like honey tonight, and sweet words came out of his mouth.
After the matchmaker and the servants left and the doors and windows were closed, Shangguan Ping'an could no longer restrain himself and pressed Guo Jiaojiao onto the bed.
"Oh, you are too impatient. You haven't even washed your face yet!"
"I'll just give you two kisses."
"Be more serious."
"How can a bridal chamber be serious?"
"Shangguan is safe!!!"
"My dear, we are husband and wife. It's too strange for you to call me by my full name. Be good and call me husband!"
"You...oh, don't bite me, I'm calling you, husband!"
"It sounds so nice, shout it out a few more times!"
The red candles are warm, the gauze is fluttering, and the room is charming.
In a room at Guo's residence, Master Qingshuang was sitting in front of a desk, writing something.
She wrote on two large sheets of paper, waited for the ink to dry, then carefully folded the papers, put them in an envelope, wrote the three words "Guo Jiaojiao" on them, and placed them next to the pillow.
She lay down on the bed neatly dressed, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was just dawn, Shangguan Ping'an and Guo Jiaojiao had not yet gotten up, when Shangguan Tang arrived.
"Ping An, Jiao Jiao, hurry to Guo's house, the nun has passed away!"
Guo Jiaojiao, who was immersed in happiness, turned pale when she heard this: "What? This is impossible. Master is fine, how could he die?"
When they arrived at Guo's residence and saw Master Qingshuang lying on the bed without a sound, Guo Jiaojiao's face turned pale instantly: "Master!"
Master Qingshuang passed away with a peaceful smile. Before she left, she left a letter to Guo Jiaojiao, in which she wrote her instructions and some blessings. She hoped that Guo Jiaojiao would be happy for the rest of her life and that Shangguan Ping'an would not let Guo Jiaojiao down.
Shangguan Tang stood aside and said, "The nun knew that she was dying, so she asked you to get married quickly. Jiaojiao, don't blame us for hiding it from you. It was the nun who didn't let us tell her. She did it for your own good."
Guo Jiaojiao burst into tears.
Guo Jiaojiao cremated Master Qingshuang's body as written in the letter, leaving only the ashes, and took them to the nunnery where she grew up for burial.
The second master and the third master were still alive, and there were a few more young nuns in the nunnery. When they learned that Master Qingshuang had passed away, everyone in the nunnery was very sad again.
After burying Master Qingshuang, Guo Jiaojiao followed Shangguan Tang's family to Qingquan Village.
At the same time, the envoy of Xuanyue Kingdom returned to the Xuanyue Imperial City. When he saw Emperor Xuanyue, he immediately exaggerated the cruelty of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Emperor Yuanwu not only refused to lend us food, but he also humiliated us and killed more than a dozen spies in front of us!"
When Emperor Xuan Yue heard what the envoys said, he asked in a deep voice, "How did those spies get discovered? Didn't I tell you to be more careful? How do you do things? You are useless, a bunch of useless people!"
The envoys all bowed their heads.
Emperor Xuan Yue asked again: "Where did the Yuan Dynasty's food come from? Did you really not discover anything?"
The envoys lowered their heads, and the leader said, "No, we have gained nothing!"
This answer made Emperor Xuan Yue even more angry.
Under the ravages of ice and snow, the Xuanyue Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Not only did most of its people die, but the land was also frozen and the grain grown was less than half of what it used to be.
The Xuanyue Kingdom has long run out of food reserves, and the people are about to rebel!
Knowing that the people in the Yuan Dynasty were still able to have enough food and clothing, and that although there were casualties, they were not as bad as Xuan Yue's, he wanted to figure out how the Yuan Dynasty did it.
Unexpectedly, the Yuan Dynasty's defense was very tight and no news was leaked out. That's why he sent envoys to the Yuan Dynasty, one to inquire about the situation, and the other to ask for help from the Yuan Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the Yuan Dynasty ruthlessly rejected Xuan Yue's request for help and was only willing to help Penglai Kingdom.
Emperor Xuan Yue looked very unhappy.
The Yuan Dynasty conquered Beiyi and Fuso, and had a strong army and a rich country and a strong people. Today's Xuanyue is completely incomparable.
Only three of the five kingdoms remained. After experiencing natural disasters, the Yuan Dynasty became the strongest country, Penglai Kingdom was still the most mysterious country, and Xuanyue Kingdom became the weakest country.
Emperor Xuan Yue was very unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, he had to hold it in.
Emperor Xuanyue called the Minister of Revenue and said, "Check the treasury to see how much silver we can get out. I have decided to ask the Yuan Dynasty for help and buy food from them to save the victims!"
Emperor Xuan Yue originally thought that the Yuan Dynasty would sell grain to them at a high price, but he never expected that not only did the Yuan Dynasty not raise the price, but also kept the grain price to the lowest.
Those grains are high-quality rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and cassava.
Just these four kinds of high-yield crops saved the lives of thousands of people in Xuanyue Kingdom.
Emperor Xuan Yue heaved a sigh of relief: "It's saved, it's saved at last! Emperor Yuan Wu, you really are worthy of being the legendary figure who unified the Yuan Dynasty. I am convinced!"
Emperor Yuanwu knew how to use talented people and there was mutual trust between the monarch and his subjects, which led to the Yuan Dynasty we have today.
